Just short of the pla offs Hawks have first winning record but miss post-season action ne hot summer aftemoon after a long practice, the P.C1. high chool football team had a meeting to stablish their goals for the coming ear. The goals were simple, to have he best team possible and most im- ortantly, to have a winning season. his doesn't sound like much, but it as something the Hawks had been nable to do in two tries. This year the awks had two advantages. First is the ddition ofthe nineteen third-year var- ity seniors. Seniors are always an im- ortant part ofa football team and this gain proved to be true. Second is the even new coaches added to the staff. erry Fausett, Bill Niven, David Pitts, on Holly, Bob Carter, Jon Davis and Mike Walsh were all first year coaches at l'The Grove and in the words of Coach Toombs, They did a greatjob. These men and the nineteen seniors guided the Hawks to an impressive 6-5-1 record- the best in our high school's history. The Hawk's first game of the year was against the Maud Cardinals. Though the Hawks could practice out- side only once during the week due to rain, it didn't seem to hinder them as the Hawks recorded a 50-O shutout over the Cardinals. P.C1.'s next game against the even- tual class ISA state champion Jefferson Bulldogs was not as thrilling. The Hawks were defeated 50-21. Though the Jefferson game was a disappointing defeat for the Hawks, th ey bounced back the next week to beat the Commerce Tigers 9-7. This was the Hawks first road game victory in history. The win was a big one for the Hawks, but senior tailback Tony Wiltshire received an injury to his shoulder which kept him out of the next game against De Kalb. Even without Wiltshire, P.G. held it's omm against the Bears, tieing them 7-7. The Bears eventually went on to the state playoffs with Hooks.
